Meeting with Professor Grigory Ioffe from Radford University

Belarus President
Alexander Lukashenko met with Professor Grigory Ioffe from Radford University
in Virginia, the United
States, author of several books about Belarus on 12
January.

During the meeting the head of state noted that the opinion of the
objective and interested expert from outside like Grigory Ioffe is important
for the evaluation of the current situation in Eastern
Europe. “It is very important for us, especially in this challenging
period of uneasy relations not only of Belarus
and the West, but also of the states located in Eastern
Europe. It is important because of an array of problems which have
recently escalated in Ukraine,
in Belarus, in Russia. These
include economic crises and other issues,” the President said.

“Your reasoning, your assessment of the situation in Belarus are
very important, both for the international community and for the understanding
of the processes which are happening here today,” the head of state stressed.
